2. Inspect and Replace Wiper Control Switch
  • Remove the steering column cover using a flathead screwdriver.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the wiper control switch.
  • Test the switch with a multimeter for continuity in all positions.
    • If there is no continuity when the switch is in the OFF position, replace the switch.

    • Replace the relay if it fails the test.
  • Reinstall the working relay back into the fuse box.
4. Inspect Wiper Motor and Wiring
  • If the switch and relay are functioning, check the wiper motor.
  • Disconnect the wiper motor connector and test for voltage with a multimeter while activating the switch.
